Native cover indicator for Alberta

Description

Provides documentation on the development of the Native Cover indicator to be applied across the province of Alberta. The intent of the Native Cover indicator is to measure and track the amount of habitat that is free of visible human footprint. There are two types of native cover: aquatic and wetland native cover (AWNC), representing the amount of aquatic habitat free of visible human footprint, including bogs, fens, swamps, marshes, open water, and riparian areas; and terrestrial native cover (TNC), representing the amount of upland (non-aquatic) habitat free of visible human footprint.
